The Hisense U8G generally offers better overall picture quality, peak brightness, and is a stronger choice for movies and gaming, making it suitable if you prioritize these aspects. However, it's also more expensive. The TCL Q7 is less expensive but doesn't quite match the U8G's peak brightness or picture quality. It does, however, offer better black uniformity and is suitable if you're looking for a decent all-rounder while saving some money. Neither is ideal in very bright rooms, but the U8G performs better in such conditions. Both support various HDR formats and have similar port offerings. Give Feedback

Although they have very similar scores, PerfectRec considers Hisense U8G (LCD) to be very good for movies & TV, while the TCL Q7 (LCD) is good.
The Hisense U8G excels in movie and cinematic TV viewing primarily due to its strong contrast, effective local dimming, and solid black uniformity, all crucial for providing deep blacks and rich details in dark scenes. The TCL Q7 also performs well with movies and cinematic content, offering slightly better contrast and black uniformity for depth of image, but it has a less effective local dimming feature which may affect the precision of dark scene detailing.

The Hisense U8G (LCD) and TCL Q7 (LCD) are both only fair for sports.
The Hisense U8G offers better performance for watching sports due to excellent motion processing that enhances fast-moving scenes and good reflections handling, which is critical in well-lit environments. However, the TCL Q7 struggles with motion processing, which may lead to more blur during fast action, and has poor viewing angles, reducing the quality of the image when viewed from the side.

About Hisense
Hisense, a Chinese TV manufacturer, entered the US market in approximately 2011 and has since acquired TV divisions from various companies such as Toshiba, Sharp, Hitachi, and NEC. Currently ranking as the fourth largest vendor in terms of sales volume, Hisense aims to capture a wide range of TV budget segments. They offer exceptional value with TVs that often outperform their competitors at similar price points, making them a compelling choice for consumers. In the US, they use Google TV as their smart TV software which provides the largest app selection and a very modern user interface, however it is not as user friendly as the software from other vendors.
About TCL
TCL, the highly recognizable TV brand from China, has firmly established itself as the second-largest manufacturer in terms of sales volume. Renowned for striking an impressive balance between affordability, picture quality, and design, TCL TVs deliver a compelling overall package. While they have traditionally excelled in the low-end and midrange TV segments, TCL has recently made remarkable strides in the realm of high-end televisions, introducing impressive models that rival top competitors. Most TCL TVs use Roku software which is very user friendly and easy to use, but they have a few other models that use Google TV which has the largest app selection, but is not as user friendly as Roku.
